Some time back I kindly asked you to do a post for Sylvia who had a birthday and I would print out the birthday wishes and take them to her.

Sylvia is another of my extended family, and after a horrific car accident she was left a quadraplegic. She made steady progress,even painting with her mouth.When I went to visit her, I was amazed at how alive she was, more so, than some people I knew who had everything to jump for.

After spending about 18 months in hospital, the hospital placed her in a care centre, not to my liking, but Sylvia wanted out from a hospital situation and she was moved to this place. I had an electric motor fitted to her wheel chair and life had to go on.

Sylvia developed severe pressure sores, has been in and out of hospital, and I wont even go there with the treatment she received, except for the fact that I felt like I was hitting my head against a brick wall.
Today, I called the care centre and Sylvia, will soon join Eva and be a star twinkling in our skies.  4 more children  without a mother.

I ahve sent over some stronger pills for her as she is in considerable pain, and at the moment I am away from home,and unable to do much, when back I will see if I can get her into hospice, although I can see another fight on my hands

For now, I am just so mad,

Lynnette,
that sounds so sad! So terribly sad! My heart goes out to you and her family, and I´m with Jane: I hope Sylvia will prove them wrong!
I pray for her strength and will, she has been through so much, that I hope she can make it!!!!
I wante to suggest to get a healing stone for Sylvia, in German it´s calle Chrysokoll, but I cannot find a translation, so here is the chemical Name for it, maybe you can find out about it: Cu4H4[(OH)8|Si4O10] · n H2O . Chrysokoll is a pale to darker green stone, that gives you strength and helps in self healing. :hug:

A quick update, I am now back home, and contacted hospice who in turn spoke to the ^*^&(&) Dr treating Sylvia. He did not seem to think it was a major issue, but I think he might have had a wake up call.
I have also contacted the chairman for the quadriplegic society and he now has all the details and he will follow up everything, what a relief to have some support.
He must think I am a real idiot thou- battling with my deafness to hear him on the phone, also got a major migraine -  blurry vision, fuzzy brain, and with this very emotional, cant think straight- but I will fight every inch of the way to make sure she gets what she needs to give her some peace.

Thank you all for your kind words, no words to tell you how deperately they are needed right now.

I can truly say Lynette, that if I ever find myself in dire straits, I hope that I have a friend like you!
You need to take care of yourself too!

Blessings on you and Sylvia!
